Hiya, I struggled with steraline at first but I now take it just before bed and now I have no problems. As for the rib pain I never had that symptom but hopefully you’ve just pulled a muscle or something and it will go away soon 😊

I do take it at night but still wacked out during day and yh i had bad side pains under left rib told my doctor he said side effect but im not convinced at all not done anything to pull a muscle im pretty much stuck in because of the fatigue

I struggled with sertraline at thr beginning too but now I’m fine. It takes time… about the pain on your side I didn’t have that problem. I don’t think is side effect.

Sorry for the late response! I hope still can help with my answer. I been on 5 years. I stared 25mg took look to find the right dose. Went up to 50 then 75 then 100. Under my doctor supervision. I will say after a year with adjustments I get my balance and went back slowly to the 25 mg. Which is my daily dose. Always at night. Been steady on that dose last 3 years… Is been life changing for me… hope this helps
